CIPP/E and CIPP/US annual update (Sept 1, 2019)

CIPP/E and CIPP/US annual update (September 1, 2019)

From September 1, 2019, the IAPP CIPP/US and CIPP/E exams undergo a small annual update. Approximately 10% of the body of knowledge and the exam are adjusted accordingly. If we look closely at the exam blueprints, the adjustment is actually minimal.

CIPP/E Update

The exam blueprint has two additions:

Storage limitation retention, under II, C;

Consent (and withdrawal of), under II, F.

The changes are marked (yellow) on the official IAPP CIPP/E exam blueprint. Download the blueprint here.

Please note that we actually only see the first topic (data subject consent and withdrawal) in the new exam blueprint. It is possible that the changes have not been made visible and simply fall under the topics that are already in the blueprint. For example, the joint controller (5) is now dealt with under II, A.

CIPP/US Update

Added ‘APEC’ to other key considerations for U.S.-based multinational companies, under I, C.

Future of federal enforcement, under II, A;

Elements of, key differences among states, recent development, under V, E. (This seems more like a textual clarification because this was already requested in the exam. Now it has been made clear that people can expect this too.)

Please note that we actually only see the third and fourth subject in the new exam blueprint. It is possible that the changes have not been made visible and simply fall under the topics that are already in the blueprint.
